CHECKERS

Step Image

Step 2 - Board Pattern
Checkerboards are black and white repeating. So to do this, we don't want to waste our time and copy/paste all of those black and white marks. Let's just create a new document with the size of 88x88 pixels. Then grab your Selection Marquee tool and look at the top of your Adobe Photoshop window. Find where it says "Style: Normal". Click where it says normal until a drop menu comes down. Select Fixed Size. Now just to the right of it, change the width and height to 44x44 pixels.

Now make a selection in the document and move it all the way to the top left. Then right click in the selection and go to Fill > Color > #000000. Now again, make a new selection, or if you didn't deselect it yet just move it to the right. Then right click on this side and go to Fill > Color > #FFFFFF. Now finally once you have a black (left) and white (right) piece, duplicate the layer. Then go to the top of your Adobe Photoshop window and find Edit > Transform > Horizontal. Now move this to the bottom so it fits the puzzle.



Finally, to complete the pattern, go to the top of your Adobe Photoshop window and find Edit > Define Pattern. Name it Checkerboard or anything you want it to be.
